Kotobukiya Mega Man X Blade Armor Coming in April 2023

Now that Dark MegaMan.EXE is on sale and out the door, Kotobukiya wasted no time to open pre-orders and confirm the release date for Mega Man X Blade Armor.  

Product Description:

From Mega Man X6, X in his powered up Blade Armor form returns as a plastic model kit for the first time in approximately twenty years!

Thanks to CAD engineering technology, Blade Armor X's proportions have been faithfully recreated while maintaining an impressive range of articulation that allows users to recreate a variety of scenes from the games!

Deploy the Buster by changing out parts and recreate various scenes with  two included sword-shaped effect and slashing effect parts!

The powerful Z Saber—featured in Mega Man X6 as a key game mechanic and given to X by his dear friend, Zero—and a hand part designed for X to hold the saber are included.

Blade Armor X can be customized with parts from the first X model kit. You can enjoy recreating snapshot moments from the games by collection each armor piece. Other accessories included with the kit - such as the Buster, large effect parts, hands parts and three interchangeable facial expressions, make this kit perfect for recreating different moments from Mega Man X6.

■ Model Specifications:

• The kit includes three interchangeable face parts.
• The Buster can be equipped to the model’s left or right arm.
